    I can´t figure out why he didn´t call minotaurs

    Minotaurs still convey the idea of super human strength, he was trying to convey the idea of limited power output of a human with the limited mental capacity of a horse.

      Ah, thank you. The problem has been bedevilling me for weeks and I think this is the solution.

      I initially thought it could be because the Minotaur isn’t exactly half-man/half-animal as the centaur is, but a hybrid of the two; often represented with hoofs for feet, etc., which is another expression of what you’re saying.
